This is why @schumer.senate.gov and @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social need to go. Trying unsuccessful to negotiate w Republicans to get ICE to follow the Constitution is a giant step backwards. These spineless idiots are enabling the erosion of Democracy bc they won’t take a hard line on anything ever

AOC on DHS Warehouses: I think every American should be alarmed. They are buildingβ€”and have builtβ€”a black box system that disappears people, both immigrants and U.S. citizens alike.

So I should stop yelling at elected officials but you and this guy can yell at me?

My favorite genre of postβ€”β€œDemocrats can’t do a thing so leave them alone!” Even if you think this is true, why chastise people who believe otherwise? Obviously Dems won’t do anything so hey you win but somehow it still bothers you that people will be mad at them? Are you related to Chuck Schumer?

Any real artist would pause and say β€œWHAT FOLLOWS IS A POLITICAL STATEMENT.” Or at least label those power lines β€œPuerto Rico’s Dilapidated Power Grid” so we know it’s on purpose

Kind of gives away the whole game that all the crypto ads this year have been replaced with gambling and AI ads.

So uh Ring just up and said they've got a huge centralized private surveillance network they can leverage all at once huh

I tell you what, Ring figured out exactly how to weaponize white people’s empathy in service to a corporately controlled surveillance state.

Tell them it will find your dog.

The DOGE Damage Elon is Leaving Behind
Musk has stepped out of the limelight, but DOGE is still gutting countless government programs and services that million The DOGE Damage Elon is Leaving Behind

Elon Musk will sit for a deposition regarding DOGE’s gutting of USAID.

Multiple reports estimate that his dismantling of the foreign aid agency directly contributed to thousands of deaths around the world.

And that’s just one piece of damage DOGE left behind. Watch.

I generally love the Olympics, especially the Winter Olympics, but this opening ceremony has somehow made time move backwards. Just excruciating. How is it still going!!

Love this song, strange choice for the Olympics but hey in 2026 if you want to mock America in any way you should go for it we’ve earned it

It’s astounding like even if you think that this is true why broadcast it like they do? Are they all just Chuck Schumer alts?

The public made noise for Liam Ramos and it got him released from Dilley.

Now we must make noise for 7 year old Diana Crespo.

Her parents were taking her for emergency medical care when ICE grabbed them, and she’s rotting in the camp sick and exposed to measles.

Get them out!

Democrats should be doing absolutely everything they can right now to grind this govt to a halt. Republicans are being pretty out in the open now with this stuff and if it’s allowed to continue we literally will not have a democracy anymore. Well @schumer.senate.gov ?

Truly astounding. Some consultant just got paid $100,000 to tell them to put a 6-7 reference in there and no one in the campaign is a real person who could say I’m not sure that’s cool anymore

But having that much money / the pursuit of that much money absolutely warps people’s minds. Can’t enjoy a goddamned thing. Just want to ruin it all. We need to tax billionaires out of existence and use the money to publicly fund the press

Enjoy a big surge of public goodwill toward me for my benevolence. It would be really fun.

Show up to the newsroom every once in a while if I was feeling down and let everyone thank me and tell me how great I was for letting them do the journalism they love doing.
